JOHN DAVIS, OF WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.

GAS-BURNER.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, J OIIN DAVIS, a citizen of the United States,residing at l Vashington, in the District of Columbia, have invented newand useful Improvements in GasBurners, of which the following is aspecification.

My invention has relation to improvements in gas burners, and the objectof the invention is to provide a burner formed in two sections, a lowerand an upper section telescoping one within the other, the lower andinner section being provided at its upper and smaller end with asuitable number of perforations a ranged in circular series around llSperiphery, and a stationary disk secured to the upper end of the lowersection of the burner by which the sheet or flame of the gas in suchconstruction in conjunction with an auxiliary controller or regulator isaugmented, said auxiliary controller or regulator being composed of finewire loosely wrapped over each other to form a ball, said ball beinglocated in a cage formed of wire meshing of larger diameter and locatedin the upper section of the burner above the stationary disk and in thepath of the same and the tip of the burner.

With these and other Objects in view the invention consists in the noveland peculiar construction and combination of parts as will behereinafter more in detail described and the asserted noveltyspecifically claimed.

1 have fully and clearly illustrated my invention in the accompanyingdrawings, in which;

Figure 1 is a front elevation of my improved gas burner, and Fig. 2 is asectional character the gas has an uninterrupted and view of the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the severalfigures.

A. designates a burner composed of two sections, a discharge section aand a chambered section a one telescoping within the other. The lowerpart of the upper section a is provided with an enlargement a? which hasscrew threads (i formed upon its inner surface which engagecorresponding screw threads a" formed upon the outer surface of areduced portion of the lower chambered section a. The upper end of thelower section a is provided with a disk B which permanently closes theupper and smaller end of the section a and around this end and upon theedge of the periphery of said sec- Specification of Letters Patent.

tion a and slightly below or on the same plane with the disk B is amultiple number of perforations 5 through which the gas passes from thelower or fixture section of the burner into and through the dischargesection a of the burner previous to passing through an auxiliary gascontroller or regulator located in the discharge section a of the burnerabove the disk B, which will be hereinafter more fully described.

G designates a gas controller or regulator composed of a wire ball and acage formed of wire meshing. The strands of wire of the ball are looselywrapped together one strand over the other, the strands of wire leavingsuitable interstices between each other through which the gas passes.

D designates a cage composed of fine wire meshing within which the wireball 0 is loosely located, the gas passing previously through this cagebefore it passes through the interstices of the wire ball and fromthence through the wire ball and again passes out of the cage throughthe tip of the burner.

Importance is attached to the construct-ion of this auxiliary gascontroller and cage so far as their functions and operation inconnection with the permanent disk 13 and burner is concerned, and bythis combination of ball and cage it has been shown by actualdemonstration that greater light and heat is produced through thismedium. The expansion of the flame or sheet of gas and consequentlytherefrom the brilliancy of the flame is primarily due to the auxiliarycontroller detachably located in the burner.

From the construction of a burner of this steady flow upwardly from thelower section through the series of openings in the fixed or stationarydisk and thence up through the cage and the interstices of the strandsof wire composing the wire ball located within the cage and out throughthe tip of the burner. This auxiliary controller gives the gas greaterilluminating power.

Having thus fully described my invention what I claim as new and desireto secure by Letters Patent is zl. In a gas burner the combination witha cage constructed of fine wire meshing of globular form; of a ballcomposed of fine wire strands Wrapped over and around each other leavinginterstices therethrough for the passage of the gasv in more or lessquanwire strands Wrapped one over the other in tity according to thepressure, substantially l the form of a ball, and a cage in ball form asdescribed. composed of fine wire meshing within which 2.
